50 Year Reunion Announcement!

Our 50th Class Reunion

Friday,
September
20,
2019 - 6:00 pm

The Meskwaki Casino and Resort in Tama, Iowa.

TBD

Already into the summer of 2016. The MHS Class of 1981 is having their 35th class reunion this weekend (June 24 & 25). Wow, it just seems like time is flying by faster and faster as we grow older.

We have a very small but dedicated group of '69ers who are still meeting every fourth Sunday evening at 6:00. We are ready for a change in location. Continue to monitor this page for the location of our July meeting place. If you are in town and it's time for a reunion meeting, then please join us! We would sure enjoy seeing better attendance at these gatherings for sure.

Speaking of our 50th Class Reunion. Our class has a pretty good reunion fund built up and it is gaining a little interest in a CD at a local bank. On February 28th of 2019, our CD will be worth $1,290.03. Right now we are thinking of having our 50th reunion at the Meskwaki Casino, Hotel and Resort. They have a very good variety of meeting rooms available for us, great food, a place to stay, and entertainment. Look for more details as we rapidly approach 2019.

I will be presenting a proposal to our reunion committee that we explore hiring a professional to produce a DVD on the history of our class. These DVDs would be a part of the 50th reunion registration. I would like very much to have pictures, videos, etc. from the late 1960s and those that feature our classmates. Proms, homecomings, band, sports, clubs, Franklin Field, King's Food Host, Zeno's Pizza, scooping the loop, the River Rats movie that was shot along the Iowa River. I'm sure there are other ideas we could incorporate into our DVD. If the committee agrees to explore this idea and we can raise the funds to do it, then I will send out an email requesting the previous listed items.

Remember to keep your profile up-to-date as it sure makes it easier to contact you when registration time arrives. Take care fellow classmates and let's all plan to meet again soon!

7/28/09 - The reunion was wonderful! It was so great to see all of you again and so awesome to come together knowing that not even time or distance could take away our friendships.
original entry--- Hello to all you MHS friends.
It's been a fun day looking over this website on my day off from school.
I'm currently teaching at Peet Jr. High in Cedar Falls. I teach the 9th grade Speech class and a 7th grade English class. Speech is my forte and I also coach the speech team for Cedar Falls High School where I taught and directed plays for several years. One of the highlight shows was "Grease," which will always be remembered. I had our friend's refurbished red 1966 Mustang drive right onto our stage for the event! In "The Baseball Show" I lined up a brand new Harley motorcycle the kids rode onto the stage too. I've had some exciting times during my nearly 30 years of teaching. The drama days of MHS stayed with me and I love the creativity of directing. As I wind up my final years of teaching, I continue to love Broadway shows and my new hobby of golf. My wonderful husband, Steve, got me into the game. I'm no pro, but golf in a ladies league and with our other couples friends, mostly at Fox Ridge Golf Club in Dike or with our good friends in Decorah at Oneota. We enjoy following all the CFHS sports here, especially football and basketball, which Steve's son Seth played during his high school years and then coached. My boys, Ryan and Sean, are both here in Cedar Falls now. Ryan has two daughters and I love spending time with my lovely granddaughters. Julie Jackson Snyder, Vicki Byrd Meyer and I still get together at least a couple times each year, so we're still the threesome (BFF) in our adult stages. My parents are still actively working in Marshalltown in their business and, as always, continue working to help develop the community . Our favorite spot to return to is, of course, "Zenos" and we try to stop there whenever we can. I hope to come to the reunion this year and see all your friendly faces. Keep in touch! Deb Eschweiler
